Hmm, looks pretty true to concept form. A lot of people liked the concept though, so that's what Mitsu should do.

Safe to say it will look a lot like the concept.

The concept looks good, so this should be a good product as long as everything else (interior, options, pricing) comes together well.

the concept looks like an anime character

I don't want Mitsu to go under...so I hope this is a good product. So far, it has good styling, and as said before, it should be good to go if it is a competitive package.

BTW--saw a Lancer wagon yesterday...

It looks good, and although I'm not a Mitsu fan, I still have to say that as long as the pricing and interior comes together nicely, they may have a winner on their hands considering how popular the Caliber is doing around here (seeing lots and lots of them running around).

That's like seeing Nessie, isn't it?

The current Lancer is a pretty woeful car, at least where styling is concerned. Only the current model yeard looks presentable - 5 years and countless makeovers to get it right.

I see a yellow lancer wagon all the time around here.

it's how I keep my weight down....

Not bad, not bad.

Looks like a black Acura TSX with Tent-Puke

on the nose & @ss. I never understand how

people see anything other than a basic shape

that has what appear to be headlights.

Well, except for the front grille, the overall concept was rather sexy to me (at least the exterior).

And, if Chrysler doesn't get around to producing a 3-Door or sedan of the Cailber, I guess I might as well go for its technical platform-mate- the new Mitsubishi Lancer.

The new Lancer looks to have a smoother design that I prefer, and if I'm right, since both companies spent money to produce this architecture, why not get it?

Sure, the profits go to Japan, but love does not make me blind.

For instance, if Kia built a hot little coupe with a decent interior, I would take that any day over a Caliber.

^ I am glad to see them stick with the concept. It will be nice to see something that is a little different on the road, just the CR-V different.

Can't be an Evo..if so why did they lose the wide fender flares of the concept? I'd say this is a tamed down model. Also note the high "pad" looking thing in the hood. I would bet this is a tunnel of sorts to let the hood vents breath. However I also see the same "pad" like item on the front fenders...More vents possibly or just weird camo?

Yet another BMW knockoff at least from the side view.

More Acura TL from the side than BMW.

Looks like it'll look nice.

Not bad, not bad.

That's pretty hot for a tarted-up sedan. The EVO is the only reason I have to root for Mitsubishi, so hopefully the EVO X will be a home run.
